A knock on the door
On the stoop, a cardboard box labeled "Freestyle"
Inside the box...
Arista 76
Arista Indicator Stop Bath
Aristafix
Arista hypowash
Arista flow

I have to say, it feels kind'a strange not having the Yellow and black pouches in front of me.

Looks like another chemical addict has returned to the fold. I recall the first time a couple years back I turned my back on the Great Yellow Father. The darkroom just doesn't look the same. Photographer's Formulary might be worth a look when you get to replenishing your stock. Might look different but you will be right at home.

Developers - Film - Photographers Formulary

Thanks, I saved their link. There's probably no basis to my prejustices, but I just can't get past the feeling that all these other companies are second rate wannabes. I spent many years snorting Kodak's vapors. It's going to take time.

Oooh, Freestyle! I'd been using a shared darkroom at a university, they used Sprint. Smelled good, worked fine, lol you can probably survive on student chemistry. Ah, I can hear the bang of the trays, the rush of the water... Time for the glow of the safelight.

Ohhhh, why didn't you say so...Like the title says...Getting closer
I thought you just wanted to see a sharp, well exposed photo of my chemicals.

I think you should make a video of developing your first roll of film.
